  • Thanks Chris. I cried when i saw your movie. I was inspired and i admire you greatly. You are unique and special.

  • Awesome video - two of our students showed us your chanel and it is fantastic

  • Until a few weeks ago, i had never heard of you, we got a DVD, from Utility Warehouse, I sat and watch a very moving film, In pursuit of Happiness, a week or so later i am in the local library, and come across your book "Start where you are", and i start to read. that saying . . that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear,is true,A question i have been seeking the answer for is, What is the one thing that motivates people into action. with your story i finally have found that reason

  • Chris, it must have been eerie standing on that train seeing all those laid-off people. However, what you say is true about creating an opportunity. It worked for me. Long story short, through hard work and persistence and a little bit of luck, I created a job for myself, survived 2 layoffs and have been employed with the same co. for 10 years now. So, what you say is absolutely true.

  • to start a business or to start a new venture it takes capital. the ol' saying it takes money to make money. all the skills and knowledge you have is great but if your in a field where a great percentage are being laid off then you are screwed. the only thing to do is to get educated in an in-demand stable field like law, medical, or education.

  • Stop looking for a job and become your own boss!! If you are business minded and have an entreprenurial mindset view my channel, I may have an opportunity for you

  • 0:04. There's some lady on the floor. What the fuck?

  • I love this man ... lol ... not in a greek way ... I am trying to do the Chris Gardner thing with my web development business.

  • I received a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday from my 13 year old son, Blake.

    So we went to the bookstore looking for a great

    book to invest in. And after reviewing many different books we decided to invest in you

    and purchased your book... Start Where You Are!
